Cara Dumaplin shares five daily habits to build your child's confidence and security: praise their character in front of others, hug them after tantrums, compete playfully over bedtime routines, give them your full attention in the first and last ten minutes of your day together, and publicly celebrate their good choices.
Five little things that stick with your children forever 1. Call them brave, hard working, kind, etc in front of others. It will become their inner voice. 2. After every tantrum, hug them and remind them that you love them. 3. Argue with your spouse about who gets to put them to bed or give them a bath. It makes them feel so special. 4. The 10-10-10 rule for the first 10 minutes after they wake up, first 10 minutes after being away, and last 10 minutes before going to bed, be fully present. It really sets a tone. 5. When they make a good choice, brag to other people or even their toys about how proud of them you are for that behavior.
